probably the most outstanding and at the same time peculiar festival of Tripura is the Ker Puja. it is held just after a fortnight of Kharchi Puja. The worship for 'ker' is held only one the first Tuesday or Saturday after fourteen days of Kharchi Puja. It seems that the worship of ke has a direct link with the worship of Kharchi, because the ker is also worshipped by 'Chantai' the chief of the priests of old Agartala. In the performance of this worship a particular place is earmarked which is known as ker Chaumuhani at Agartala and it is demorcated from rest of the places by a bamboo fence. This festival is also held in several tribal villages of Tripura where 'Ojhai' (tribal priest) performs the worship. The main feature of this festival is the worship of a long invoked bamboo which is locally known as nagri Pura.
